ABANTE, BABAE!
Ngayong Marso, pinaaalab ang paggunita sa kalakasan, katatagan, at kadakilaan ng lahat ng kababaihang nagsusulong ng makabuluhang pagbabago saan mang dako ng mundo. Bahagi ng pagdiriwang ang pagtataguyod ng makatarungang lipunan, pagwaksi sa karahasan at pang-aaping dinaranas ng ating mga kababayan, at paghamon sa mga mapaniil na pamantayan ng lipunang ginagapos ng patriyarkiyang kumikitil sa kasarinlan ng isip, puso, at diwa ng pagiging babae, ng pagiging tao.
Patuloy tayong tumindig! Sama-sama nating ipaglaban ang karapatan at dignidad ng sangkababaihan. Hindi natatapos ngayong Marso ang pakikibaka; magpapatuloy ito hanggang sa makamit natin ang isang lipunang tunay na ingklusibo at progresibo. Isulong natin ang isang lipunang nananaig ang hustisyang lumalaban sa pananamantala at panghuhusga sa kasarian. Ang pakikibaka ng kababaihan ay pakikibaka rin ng Inang Bayan.
BIGKISIN AT PAKILUSIN ANG KABABAIHAN TUNGO SA TUNAY NA PAGKAKAPANTAY-PANTAY!
BABAE, TULOY ANG ARANGKADA AT PAKIKIBAKA! I-PHASEOUT ANG PAHIRAP SA MASA!

Gender Stereotyping: Breaking the Female Chains
by Amanda Beatrice C. Deang
Women are supposed to stay at home, to cook and do housework, and to be responsible for raising children, but is the role that society has imposed on them the only purpose of their lives?
Gender stereotypes have long been the basis for how members of a certain gender should be: how they dress and present themselves, what their occupation should be, how they behave, and the like. Female gender stereotypes have established how and what a woman should be, even before she explores what she wants for her life. Stereotypes limit their opportunities and, in the worst cases, kill a woman’s self-confidence.
More than what they are
In the Philippines, it is a perceived societal standard that a woman’s ‘level of decency’ depends on how much fabric she wears, and her degree of capability depends on how great and diligent she is at housework.
Many advocates against female gender stereotyping have raised their voices regarding this societal error, but despite having proven that women can go beyond the boundaries of the norms and roles associated with them, a survey from Guerrero (2022) has proven that women's gender stereotypes, especially in cases of breadwinning and home-tending, are still upheld by many Filipinos.
Being a woman in the Philippines is equivalent to being subject to a pervasive system, and it is already expected that a woman seeking to apply for traditionally male roles such as jobs that require technical skills will be held to very high standards. And at times, when they do land the job, workplace discrimination on the basis of gender identity does tend to take place right after.
The gender stereotype also hinders a woman from developing her personal abilities and making decisions for herself, which leads to negative consequences as it ultimately affects their mental, physical, and emotional health and leaves them with zero self-confidence in regards to their personalities.
Exceeding the expectations
Are the roles that society has imposed on women the only purpose of their lives? Will women be able to break free from the chains of female gender stereotypes, or will such stereotypes continue to drag them down unwillingly? And as these harmful gender norms continue to persist and influence relationships, when will we really be able to say that society has already outdated and eliminated such stereotypes?
With all the stereotypes surrounding women, one notable fact that should be imprinted on society’s mind is that gender judgments are inaccurate, as these only stem from forms of bias that society has established for women over time.
Despite what society expects from a woman, there is no law or rule on how a woman should particularly be when it comes to her decisions or on how she wishes to project herself.
Men and women are equally capable of controlling what role they want to associate themselves with. Many may ask and doubt the possibility of such things, yet the latter is fully capable of much more than the roles that society forcibly associates to her.

Breaking Free: Embracing Femininity and Defying Stereotypes
"Mourning the years I spent trying not be like other girls" ~ Andrea Panaligan
I've just stumbled upon this idea, and it totally hits home. If I could speak to my younger self, I'd tell her that there's absolutely nothing wrong with embracing your feminine side—there's no shame on being a woman. Don't let society dictate that being girly or "maarte" is a bad thing. Masculinity doesn't define strength, and femininity doesn't equate to weakness. So go ahead, be your authentic self, and break free from those outdated expectations. Abante, babae!

standing from 1pm to 9pm, and walking from megamall to almost cubao (with a few minutes of stopbys) is all worth-remembering.
we are not too desperate for a politician, we are desperate for change. we still criticize vp leni if she wouldn't listen to us.

Empowering Modernity: Showing the Different Wings of Beauty
by Dhessiel Heart R. Macapagal
A beauty pageant does not only give a stage for a woman to show off her beautiful face or appealing curves, but it also projects the intelligence, potentials, and empowerment that these young ladies hold. It is the real essence of displaying a woman’s intellectual and rational capabilities.
Through this competition, the candidates have had the chance to encourage other women, regardless of their age, to embrace the identity, traits, and character of being a woman. Yet in the history, this event follows specific requirements to fit in the so-called bubble of beauty standard.
Even so, have you ever wondered the real essence of a beauty pageant? Have these contests became a measurement of beauty in society’s standard or did they help in promoting women’s self-love and self-support?
Gatekept Wings: The beauty inside a bottle
In the early times of the pageant, it is common in this competition that there will be dazzling gowns and sparkling crowns, where the room is full of beautiful women gathered on the stage while introducing themselves with their name, age, and place they represent. They would then walk away normally with a banner and flowers.
Judges will score all the contestants based on their physique and cosmetic beautifying technique. And over the years, the competition inherited talent and interviews as portions of the competition but was still perceived as ‘beauty pageants’ up until the last couple of decades.
The competition bases its criteria on the outside beauty; thus, judges look to decide on winners based on their standout qualities.
Yet even with the almost perfect set of rules and standards, beauty pageants closed their doors by limiting women in terms of their age, sex, height, and civil status. They do not accept candidates who are not fit. They continued to gatekeep the wings of every potential beauty queen, and let their beauty be confined inside the bottle.
Embracing Kaleidoscope: Reshaping the modern beauty
Undeniably, the point of pageants shifted over time from exterior credentials to talent and intellect. They were able to adapt to the changes in modern society, such as being lenient to specific rules and guidelines.
Pageants evolved over time from their original purpose of showcasing the physical beauty of a woman. They started to look out for the different values from the candidates’ substantial answers and their beneficial advocacies.
The community has welcomed these long-overdue changes compatible with society’s evolution as everyone looks forward to continually evolving and improving ideals of inner instead of outer beauty. One’s character and personal success not only in pageants but in the world as a whole.
The competition also empowers the bigger picture by allowing transwomen to join the competition. One notable beauty queen is Ms. Angela Ponce, who won Miss Universe Spain 2018, gaining the entitlement of being the first transgender woman to compete in Miss Universe with full support and acceptance.
This circumstance truly shows that society is ready to embrace all butterflies flying with their colors, whether it is rainbow, black, or plain pink.
Besides, at the end of the day, women must remember that the new idea of beauty, the one that comes from within, is one that allows them to empower themselves and others.
What has really changed the most in the field was the emphasis on inner self-confidence and fostering empowerment to yourself. It becomes the key to winning, not only on stage but also in life.
With the change in beauty definitions, pageants constantly change what they value, and the media displays that these improvements convey a message to the outside world.

what would it be like to be the main character?
for this year’s celebration of international women’s day (March 8), i want to feature two different women from Taylor Swift’s masterpiece album, folklore.
in this patriarchal society, women have been deprived of security, safety, and opportunities. imagine women have had to learn self-defense, go home early, and the likes in order to feel safe against the threat brought by men. they are being abused physically, emotionally, and sexually, and in fact according to WHO, 1 in 3 (35%) of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. aside from this, they experience continuous discrimination in their every day lives.
we often admire women for being strong, but we always forget the reason why they have to be strong.
parallel to the real world, Taylor Swift, through her songs, has managed to tell us the stories of two strong women who experienced unfortunate teenage drama caused by, of course, a man.
a little (at least for non-swifties) known fact about her album folklore is that there are actually three songs that are connected to each other. these are cardigan, betty, and august. these three songs constitute a trilogy about a love triangle among betty, james, and the girl in the song august.
cardigan is a song written from a perspective of a girl who was hurt by a boy for flirting with another girl. in the song betty, we then realized the name of the girl is betty, while the boy’s name is james. in these two songs, we can immediately conclude that they should have been happy if the third girl did not enter the picture. it seems like the girl was being portrayed as “the other woman.”
however, if we listen thoroughly to the song august, we can analyze her grief and longing, and we can realize that she was a victim too. it hurts seeing another girl aside from betty being emotionally and sexually abused again by this jerk.
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall" - from the song August
these are the words of the august girl who was clearly not being treated right as she was told that their meeting place is just behind the mall. this is connected to the lyrics below:
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you
When she pulled up
Like a figment of my worst intentions
She said, "James, get in, let's drive"
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long - from the song Betty (James’ POV)
not james sleeping with another girl while thinking betty. it is the audacity for me. both women deserve better.
betty deserves a man who does not look for another girl just because he found her dancing with another man in a prom, then comes back again like putting on an old cardigan while saying she was his favorite.
the speaker in august deserves a man who treats her right. who makes her feel that she is finally the main character in her own story and not just a second lead who was portrayed as a desperate woman. she deserves a man who gives her the assurance, the relationship with a label, the world.
or we can make this simple. maybe they do not need a man at all.
to all the women out there, i love you all. you all deserve a world without us.
to all the boys reading this, do not be a james. man up. “not all men” but enough men that every woman are now afraid of men. so stop using the “not all men” remarks as it just dismisses the miserable experiences of women caused by men.
